Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the strength training device 1 is a frame in which two parallel long gripping rods 2a and 2b and two parallel gripping short rods 3a and 3b are assembled into a rectangle. Composed of the body. As shown in FIG. 3, the long rods 2a and 2b and the short rods 3a and 3b are made of wooden round rods, and are formed to have the same thickness of about 2.4 cm in diameter for easy grip.

The long rods 2a and 2b have substantially the same distance as the user's chest width, that is, the chest width of the user when both hands are naturally extended to the front, and both end faces are longer on the outer peripheral side. It is cut diagonally. Also, the short rods 3a, 3b
Has a length of 2 to 3 cm longer than the length of the fist so that the fingers can slide comfortably when grasped with one hand, and both ends are cut diagonally to correspond to the inclination of both end faces of the long rods 2a and 2b. ing.

The long rods 2a and 2b and the short rods 3a and 3b
The end faces are abutted against each other, and if necessary, they are firmly bonded so that they will not come off even if a force is applied by using a combination of a mortise assembly, auxiliary metal fittings, and the like. Although the weight of the strength training device 1 varies depending on the size and the material of the wood,
If it is about 270 g, it is light and easy to handle for elderly and sick.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the opposing positions of the long rods 2a, 2b or the short rods 3a, 3b of the muscle training device 1 facing each other are respectively held by the left and right hands, the left and right hands have a habit of the human body. Before they appear, they are connected to each other keeping their postures that do not shift up and down and up and down. Further, the corresponding fingers of the left and right hands are also connected to each other, and this connected state is naturally maintained regardless of whether the user is at rest or exercising.

Next, an example of use of the muscle strength training tool 1 will be described. Using this muscle strength training tool 1, the following six basic operations are performed. 1. Exercise to rotate the strength training device 1,
2. Pushing and inquiring with both hands, 3. 3. Exercise to hit the body with the strength training device 1. Flexing and stretching the whole body to strengthen muscles 1
4. movement to move Exercise to raise legs, 6. Apply weight to Strength Training Tool 1. 1. Exercise for rotating the strength training device 1 a. Exercise to rotate the strength training device 1 in front of the body a. The strength training device 1 is oriented horizontally and horizontally in front of the body, and the short rods 3a and 3b, which are vertical rods, are grasped from both sides so that the palms face each other. With the right palm facing upwards, while keeping the muscle strength training tool 1 horizontal, move the left hand and rotate the muscle strength training tool 1 clockwise. Then, the right hand moves below the left hand at a position rotated by 90 degrees, and finally the strength training device 1 rotates about 270 degrees. Then, similarly, the muscle strength training device 1 is rotated counterclockwise. This action rotates the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, increasing flexibility. In addition, raise both arms higher than horizontal to strengthen the muscles 1
When is rotated, the upper body naturally warps behind and the posture is corrected.

B. In the same manner as b, the muscle training device 1 is grasped in front of the body, the right end of the muscle training device 1 is rotated upward around the left palm, and the right hand is moved to above the left elbow. At this time, the left palm faces up and the right palm faces down. With this position as the start position, the right hand is moved to rotate the strength training device 1 in both left and right directions. Clockwise about 180 degrees, counterclockwise about 90
Can be rotated once. Next, the left hand is moved with the right hand as the center. This action forces a twisting motion around the wrist and elbow of the unmoving hand, increasing flexibility.

C. Similar to (a) and (b), the muscle training device 1 is grasped, the muscle training device 1 is once made horizontal, and then the right hand is moved upward to vertically stand the muscle training device 1 in a vertically long state. With this position as the starting position, turn your right hand to the front side, pass through the lower vertex and push it further up to the limit of about 270
Turn around, rotate in the opposite direction from the limit position, and rotate from the start position to the other side to the limit. In this way, it is possible to rotate a total of about 360 degrees in both directions. According to this exercise, the elbow of the moving hand extends well with sufficient force at the position where it is rotated to the limit, and the upper body of the moving hand is naturally lifted.

D. Similar to (a) to (c), the strength training device 1 is grasped, the left strength hand is moved to the front right side while the strength training device 1 is standing vertically in a horizontally long state, and the strength training device 1 is rotated until the left hand hits the right shoulder. At this time, the right hand naturally moves to the left front side of the body, then similarly moves the right hand to the left side of the hand,
Rotate the muscle training device 1 until the right hand hits the left shoulder. According to this operation, the muscles of the shoulder are loosened and the rotation is smooth.

E. As in the cases a to d, the muscle training device 1 is grasped, and the muscle training device 1 is made horizontal with the back of the hand facing down. Next, the muscle training device 1 is rotated toward the front, the back of the hand is peeled upward when it has rotated about 180 degrees, and finally the muscle training device 1 rotates about 360 degrees, and the backs of the hands face each other on the inner peripheral side.
According to this operation, when the wrist is made flexible and the back of the hand is opposed, the strength training device 1 is moved above and further to the back to lift the chest. Be done. b. Exercise to rotate the muscle training device 1 overhead. Hold the short rods 3a, 3b to extend both arms, raise the strength training device 1 above the head, and rotate left and right while keeping it horizontal. According to this operation, the upper body is rotated left and right around the spine without being aware of it. When the same exercise is performed without the muscle strength training tool 1, the spine bends and tilts, and it is difficult to become an axis.

B. The left hand is pulled down from the start position of b in b to make the strength training device 1 vertical, and the left hand is further advanced as it is to rotate the strength training device 1 from horizontal to vertical again. The right hand starts to move greatly when the strength training device 1 becomes horizontal, and continues to rotate to the limit. According to this operation, the bending and stretching movement of the side surface of the body can be facilitated. 2. Pushing and inquiring with both hands Hold the long rods 2a, 2b or the short rods 3a, 3b, hold the muscle training device 1 in front of the body, or lay the muscle training device 1 on the knee in a sitting posture. In this state, force is applied to both hands or fingers to perform the following operations. a. Pull left and right with both hands or fingertips. b. Push in from left and right with both hands or fingertips. However, when pushing the fingers together, it is easier to put the strength training device 1 on the knee. Long bars 2a, 2b on the knee
Place the strength training device 1 on your side, place your palm on the back of your hand and extend your five fingers, and then turn your wrist so that the four fingers face each other, and place your thumb only on the outside of the rods 3a, 3b. And push the muscle training device 1 with your left and right thumbs. Next, if the four fingers facing each other are projected toward the center in the state as it is, the thumb is pulled and the muscle training devices 1 are pressed by the thumbs. c. The hands of both hands are pulled together, the wrists are pressed against each other, and a fan is opened. On the contrary, the hands are pushed together and the wrists are pulled together to close the fan.

By these pushing and pulling movements, the muscle strength of the wrist and fingers can be strengthened while the left and right balance is maintained, and the habit can be corrected, and as a result, the writing instrument can be smoothly manipulated. It will become like. 3. Exercise to hit the body with the strength training device 1 Hold one side of the strength training device 1 and hit an arbitrary part of the body with the other side. Normally, when holding the short rods 3a and 3b, the long rod 2
Hit with a and 2b, and if you have long rods 2a and 2b, short rod 3
Hit with a and 3b, but when hitting both sides of the back at the same time, exceptionally hold one of the long rods 2a and 2b and hit with the other. According to this action, stimulation is given to improve blood circulation and relieve stiffness. There is also a theory that people with weak stomach should tap the stomach lightly. 4. Exercise to bend / extend the whole body to move the muscle training device 1 Grasp the short rods 3a and 3b, and carry the muscle training device 1 to the space as far as it can reach, such as up / down / left / right, between the crotch, and the back of the body. Do it continuously or intermittently. In the case of the lateral movement, the preceding hand pulls the other hand through the strength training device 1. Further, in the motion of bending the body by bending the strength training device 1 backward through the head, one of the long rods 2a and 2b is grasped by both hands and centrifugal force is utilized. Also, when passing through the groin, one of the long rods 2a and 2b is grasped by both hands.

According to this exercise, the whole body is guided by the hand to perform various movements such as bending, stretching and rotation. In addition, this exercise is a gymnastic exercise performed with bare hands, but with the strength training device 1, the left and right arms are kept connected and the body does not sway, and the whole body moves more flexibly and becomes tired. Hard to get tired of. Further, even if the arm is extended to the limit, there is no concern that the frame body constituting the strength training device 1 will be caught by the finger and fall, and the arm following from behind will be pulled by the preceding arm via the strength training device 1. , You can easily reach a space that is difficult to reach by itself. In particular, when performing a lateral exercise above the head, the muscles on the side of the hand that follows from behind are pulled from around the spine without the effort of bending the body. 5. Exercise to raise one foot Grasp the strength training device 1 in front of your body and slowly lift the thigh of one foot to stand on one foot. Compared with the case where the strength training device 1 is not provided, it is possible to easily raise the foot without leaning the body, and it is possible to continue standing on one foot relatively easily. If you continue to stand on one foot with effort to keep your feet from falling, each part of your sole will be naturally activated. 6. The weight is put on the strength training device 1. The user sleeps on his / her back and presses the body, for example, the cervical spine,
The strength training device 1 is placed under the thoracic vertebrae, the sacrum, etc. with the long rods 2a and 2b oriented in the width direction. Then, the weight is applied to the long rods 2a and 2b, so that the acupressure substitute effect having a considerable strength can be obtained without applying force. Also, the pressure is 2 long rods 2a,
Since it is dispersed in 2b, it will be soft against the body and the weight can be moved to change the pressure distribution delicately, so there is no worry of rolling like a stick, so it is hard to shift from the pressing point, It is easy to move when changing the pressing point.

[0021]

According to the muscular exercise tool of the present invention, both hands are connected in a natural position only by gripping the opposing rods, and various exercises are performed while keeping this connection, whereby the left and right sides are biased. By gradually eliminating the habits of the body caused by it, it is possible to relieve stiffness and fatigue and train muscle strength. In addition, since the left and right sides of the body are linked, it is possible to prevent the elderly from dying of physical function and the sick, and to avoid wobbling due to unbalance of the left and right sides of the body during exercise. You can bend and stretch your body more easily than you can with your bare hands.

Further, since the frame is composed of a rectangular frame, even if the hand held is loosened as a result of bending and stretching the body to the maximum and the strength training device slides downward, the finger inserted on the inner peripheral side is raised. There is no danger of being caught by one stick and falling, and there is no risk of serious damage even if you shake it around and hit other people or objects, and there is no concern of rolling when placed on the floor.

According to the second aspect, since the surface is smooth and the tactile feeling is soft, there is no risk of damaging the palm even if it is gripped with a strong force.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, it has a warm and soft touch, has an appropriate frictional force, is hard to slip, and has an appropriate weight.
